Answer 1

Answer: Tail of Haley's lizard is longer than Caleb's lizard by 1.08 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of Haley's anole lizard = 14.5 cm

Length of Caleb's anole lizard =12.34 cm

According to question, we know that an anole lizard tail is half its length , so

Length of tail of Haley's anole lizard is given by

`(14.5)/(2)=7.25\ cm`

Length of tail of Caleb's anole lizard is given by

`(12.34)/(2)=6.17\ cm`

We get that tail of Haley's anole lizard is longer than Caleb's anole lizard by

`7.25-6.17=1.08\ cm.`

So, Tail of Haley's lizard is longer than Caleb's lizard by 1.08 cm.
